As for DEI, it should always be a good thing… but then, NGL, having “consulting companies” for it rather than having it organically probably means it won’t have that good an implementation of DEI to begin with IMO. Not that I care about the Sweet Baby Inc. nonsense, but it leaves a artificial taste in my mouth akin to pinkwashing, “girlboss” culture, and most of the NGO industry.

This is my biggest problem with SweetBabyInc and other such companies, their brand of DEI is just pinkwashed corporate slop. No amount of representation can fix a fundamentally flawed piece of media (looking at you Velma, late stage gaming).
Agreed, also not all representation is good representation- looking at you Mindy Kaling/“Velma” 🤮 … a textbook example of the white male-worshipping Asian woman who hates Asian men. (as an Asian woman myself it’s seriously fucked)
Reason #1 is correct too IMO (fuck Konami).

Why race fetishizing must be stopped.
